Ennui
*Sigh*
This is the first Saturday in a while that I haven't had anywhere to be. No weddings. No functions. No obligatory visits. Capt. Mike is dropping off a car on the other side of the country. And I am bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored.
Last night I did laundry. I washed, dried, and folded pretty much every garment I own. This morning I went to the gym and did my weight routine and a BodyCombat class. That kept me on my toes, and busy for two hours. I have cleaned out my TV cabinet of all of the old notes and binders I had been hanging on to since University. I am thinking of maybe tackling whatever is in my trunk at the bottom of my linen closet. I don't even remember what I might have put in there. I could vacuum. I got as far as putting a fresh bag in the Dirt Devil, but then I decided I'd watch a movie instead.
Did I mention it's raining? That's probably why I feel so lethargic. If the weather were nicer, I could walk downtown, stroll around the market, check out clothes I can't afford at Red Velvet. But in the rain... there's really no good reason to go out in the rain. That's why when people are explaining just how stupid other people can be, they use the phrase "He/She doesn't even have the sense to come in from the rain." Seriously.
So here I sit, typing away, hoping that something entertaining will drop into my lap so that I can at least procrastinate in a meaningful way.
Maybe I should go check out that trunk.

If I was there I'd put on a puppet show for you. I might have to adjust my material for a more mature audience though. I doubt my little fanciful tales of the adventures of Princess BabyGirl, Queen Mommy, King Daddy, her loyal friend Greenie the Dragon, and her pet goose Daniel would capture your attention as it does Baby Girl's. In our last episode they all went out for Pizza - except the Pizza wasn't cooked enough, so Greenie had to use his firebreath to finish it off, only he used a bit too much fire power and cooked Daniel's tail feathers. Which Daniel didn't appreciate. You can imagine the hullabaloo that ensued. I tell you, you've never seen an angry finger puppet goose until you've seen Daniel fly into one of his tantrums.
